Why would you want to set your Sony player to PCM rather than bitstream if you are connected to a AVReceiver?I think he S6500 is one model down from the S7200 in terms of performance and spec?
Did you get chance to test using PCM output, seen as digital audio output in the menu? The S7200 has big issues with certain types Dolby encoding when using PCM. However the ones that do work are superior compared to my AVR's own SSP.
Just got one unit for myself and I can confirm that it loads discs noticeably faster."
The marketing stuff on Sony website also suggests 6500 has Duo core processor. Does it load discs any faster?
Anyone confirm there actually these differences between the 5500 and 6500?
Thanks
What do you exactky mean by "No 24p on Netflix?" (excuse my ignorance)So no 24p on Netflix then? That's a bit of an oversight....
The Netflix app on the player does not output 24Hz for Netflix material that is encoded at 24 frames per second (which is the majority films and US TV shows). Instead it'll most likely output 60Hz by performing 3:2 pulldown, which adds motion judder.What do you exactky mean by "No 24p on Netflix?" (excuse my ignorance)

I think the Roku only does 60Hz - compare it to the video motion on the Netflix app on your Bluray players, you should see a noticeable difference especially in camera panning shots (the Roku will appear juddery in comparison).I have a Roku2 for Netflix, I use my two Blueray player to play blueray discs only.
By the way, are DVDs (non-blueray) in 24Hz or 60Hz?

DVDs, like Blurays, depend on the source material. NTSC discs (generally region 1) for film titles and some TV shows will usually be encoded at 24fps, but will play back at 60Hz by the player unless your player has an option to output them directly at 24Hz (your Samsung player should have an option like this called "DVD 24F Conversion" or similar). PAL discs are encoded at 25fps and always play back at 50Hz.
None that I'm aware of (other than the old WDTV). It's usually either a limitation on the device hardware, app, or both.What streaming devices perform in 24Hz on netflix? I thought Roku was a top performer for streaming
It depends on the BD player and its apps e.g. this Sony does not support 24p streaming for some reason, some Samsungs apparently don't support 24p streaming over DLNA etc...it's a minefield.Also, i thought the BD player option for 24Hz was only in reference to bluray discs, not streaming
The S6500 is a Sony model - they're not related at all.^^^I see you have the Samsung F6500 player, I have the S6500...Is that because yours is UK-based and mine is US-based?
This is the Samsung model I own...Is it the same as yours?The S6500 is a Sony model - they're not related at all.

If you want Dolby Atmos your only option is to enable bitstreamDepending on your AVR, the surround sound processor might not be as good as the one in the BD player. In my case the S7200 SSP is superior to the one in my Yamaha AVR.
